The rapid expansion of membership-based digital platforms, particularly Weverse, has increased the unauthorized redistribution of paid content, raising significant copyright issues in Indonesia's digital ecosystem. This study employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches through library research based on primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The findings demonstrate that unauthorized redistribution of paid Weverse content through screen recording, screenshots, downloads, and dissemination via social media constitutes copyright infringement by violating the economic rights of copyright holders under Law Number 28 of 2014 on Copyright, particularly concerning reproduction, distribution, and public communication without authorization. Although Indonesian copyright law provides preventive and repressive legal protection, its implementation remains constrained by evidentiary difficulties, cross-platform dissemination, limited regulatory adaptation to digital membership services, and insufficient public legal awareness. The study recommends strengthening adaptive legal enforcement, platform accountability, and copyright literacy to improve the protection of exclusive digital content in the evolving digital environment.
